Bertie Ahern given a 'bollocking' in local pub
Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern was recently given a ‘bollocking’ in a local pub by a widower angry with the treatment of his deceased wife in her final months.
According to this morning’s Irish Daily Star, Ahern was confronted by a constituent while enjoying a pint in the Goose Tavern Pub in Bertie’s native Drumcondra last Sunday.
According to a report in the paper, Ahern was enjoying his second pint of the day when the widower approached him and lashed him out of it over the standard of care his wife had received in his final months.
“The lad who confronted Bertie was very irate because he felt Bertie had let him down,” a source told the paper.
“He’s spoken to Bertie about his wife’s treatment and thought she should have been moved up to the list because she was so ill.
“Bertie was on his second pint – he’d only ever stay for three – when this lad, who’d only be in his 40s, went over and lashed Bertie out of it.
Someone who was with Bertie moved in to restrain the man – and that’s when a barman intervened.
“The barman was great. He told them all to calm down. Then he told the lad to take himself home and he’d see him the next day – and that was pretty much that,” he added.
The news comes in the wake of the furore that greeted Ahern’s dubious appearance in a recent television advert for The News of the World, which featured him drinking tea in a cramped kitchen cupboard
